Currencies: which ones grew the most and which fell the most in 2024?

2024 has been a challenging year for the world economy, as the emergence of armed conflicts in strategic geographic areas, such as Middle Eastas well as Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine, have hit the global economy this year.

Likewise, markets such as oil, gold or cryptocurrencies have had a special role, especially in the last months of the year, which have been influenced by a greater demand for raw materials, as well as the second electoral victory of Donald Trump in the United States presidential elections.
